The 2nd Annual 47:59 Play Festival Writing in Rotation
In our second annual festival, it’s a fierce race against the clock to write, rehearse and perform six brand new plays in exactly 47 hours and 59 minutes. Each of our six playwrights will write a first act of a new work over the course of one evening. The following morning, the piece is handed off to the 6 directors and 18 actors, who rehearse the pieces for performance that evening. After the first act comes down - that’s when things get really interesting. The playwrights will then rotate and write the second act of one of their colleague’s works from the previous night.
